Not sure if there is a track day. Are any of you members of the BMW club trillium chapter? Their HPDE is when I do my track days.

Probably a fun day at the track rather than an HPDE or lapping day. Figure there will be ride alongs.

I track with BMWCCA Trillium at Mosport.

Looks like it could be interesting, I've signed up and hopefully they provide details about the events. I did a track day with BMW at the DDT back in 2017 which was pretty good, I suspect this won't be a track day, probably at most a parade lap and ride alongs.

It's looking like July could shape up to be a good motorsports focused month, it's IMSA at CTMP the weekend before this, then this event and then up to Calabogie with Trillium the following weekend.

And I'll be at all the other Trillium weekends too and probably sign up for some days at the DDT too.

No, I've not done a day with Endras yet, only Trillium, BMW and Pfaff BMW. In 2017 I think I'd have been waiting for my M2 to get back from my ED and last year I left it too late.

Yes it is confirmed but final registration isn't open yet, for people that gave deposits there was an email on Friday confirming it. Registration for people with deposits will probably happen this week and then they'll open it up for others (also looking like an Audi club will be joining too so space will probably disappear quickly).

Ok awesome thanks for the info. I didn't put a deposit. I'd love to go but I'd have to take the Friday and Monday off work to go. I'll probably just go to Mosport 2-3 times.

Oh boy! Not all of us in Canada are lefties. The political leader of Ontario represents the conservative (right-ish) party.

Not an issue when you're running Canadian plates
